@mercime We perhaps ought to create a ticket on this? Why was it removed in the bp-legacy files template?

@39images@bphelp Although this isn’t strictly a required line of text that has to be there, it is perhaps a bit clearer with some instruction – although that could be better done with a little inventive PHP on the textarea value to replicate ‘placeholder’ text.

Remember if you encounter issues like this you do still have the original default buddypress template files in the plugin folder so you can compare the same files to see changes / grab bits of code that have been removed.

@hnla Good info, I think the missing line which echoes out the users name makes it feel more personalized for that user. If this can be fixed in an update great, if not then @mercime ‘s solution isn’t to hard to implement. I appreciate both of your help. Thanks!

Update: @39images@bphelp@hnla patch for ticket to add back the greeting above status update form has been approved. @39images@bphelp I suggest that you delete /buddypress/activity/post.form when next BP 1.7 beta/RC rolls out.
